What is a Punters Club?

Punters Clubs are a great way to get friends and social groups together to have fun and raise funds for a group goal or cause. The Club Manager starts the Punters Club, sets the rules and invites friends to join. Club members contribute a set amount of money according to the Punters Club rules and take turns to bet. All club winnings go into the Club bank (not a real bank, just a holding place for your funds until you're ready to cash out) which the club builds to work towards a common goal or if preferred, individuals can cash out their share to spend however they wish.
